16、ig secretsabout Greenland's past and future climate. Just beyond the northwest edge of the vast Greenland Ice Sheet, researchers have discovered lake mud that have survivedthe last ice age. The mud and remains of common flies in it record two inter glacialperiods (间冰期) in northwest Greenland.Alt

17、hough researchers have long known these two periods 一 the early Holocene and Last Inter glacial 一 experienced warming in the Arctic, the mix of fly species shows that Greenland was even warmer than previously thought. "As far as we know, it has never been found in Greenland. We think this is th

23、0 years, however, has been historically very difficult in Greenland. To measure these ancient temperatures, researchers look to ice cores (冰核) and lake deposits. Since ice and lake depositsform by a gradual buildup on annual layers of snow or mud, these cores containhistory of the past. By looking t

Northwest Greenland, A Perfect Destination(4)Photographic self-portraits have existed for as long as cameras have been in human hands. But what about selfies

29、 in space? On Twitter last year, NASA astronaut Edwin Aldrin, who famously became the second man to walk on the moon in July 1969, laid claim to a spaceflight first: taking the first selfie in space during the Gemini XII mission in 1966.“For me, it needs to be digital to be selfie,” argues Jennifer

30、Levasseur, a director at the Smithsonian National Air and Space Museum. According to Levasseur, the concept of a selfie is directly linked to internet culture. “The thing that makes a selfie is sharing it,” she says.Still, astronauts have been carrying cameras aboard space vehicles since the 1960s.

31、In 1966, Aldrin used a Hasselblad camera designed specifically for space. Hasselblad also painted the first camera in space a matte(磨砂) black to reduce reflections in the orbiter window. But cameras used in space need to survive extreme conditions, like temperature swings from -149° to 248°

32、;F, so Hasselblad painted later model silver.Astronauts visiting the moon then had to take out the film and leave their camera bodies behind when they returned to Earth, because early space missions were limited by a weight limit on the returned trip. Then a big change in space camera technology cam

33、e after the space shuttle Columbia broke apart on its return to Earth in 2003, Levasseur notes. “Fear that theyd never be able to bring film back from space and lose all that hard work accelerated the push for digital,” she says.Today, astronauts also have access to internet and social platforms in

34、space and can post true space selfies made using digital cameras. Similarly, space robots are participating in selfie culture, capturing remote pictures of themselves in space or on other planets and sending them back to Earth.12. Why do selfies in space need to be digital according to Jennifer Leva

35、sseur?A. Astronauts are fond of studying technology.B. Astronauts are eager to be famous on the Internet.C. Astronauts desire to communicate on social platforms.D. Astronauts want to overcome the fear in space.13. Why can the Hasselblad camera adjust to the temperature changes in space?A. It is pain

What contributed to the faster development of camera technology in space?A The heavy space tasks.B. A returned space shuttle.C. A spaceflight crash.D. The improved film.15. What can be a suita
